Jackson is interviewed by ABC about his life and his 50th birthday.
I am still looking forward to doing a lot of great things, so that’s hard. I think the best is yet to come, in my true humble opinion.
Esquire interview
Roth talks about his role as Sergeant Donny Donowitz in the movie Inglourious Basterds:
The Basterds kind of keep him in reserve, so that when they’re interrogating the Germans, they’re like, You’d better tell us where so-and-so is hiding, or we’re bringing out the Bear Jew. The idea’s that when you hear the Bear Jew, you think it’s going to be some 300-pound, huge 6-foot-7 muscle guy, and Quentin said he wants people to go, ‘That’s the Bear Jew? Eli?
Esquire interview
Novak discusses his role in the movie Inglorious Basterds:
Private First Class Smithson Utivitch. He probably came from a family that was trying to assimilate into the Waspy mainstream by naming their kid Smithson, and the war was his chance to reclaim being Jewish. I don’t know if you’ll see that onscreen, but that’s where I’m coming from when I’m paying really close attention to Brad Pitt.
Esquire interview
Burhard gives his thoughts about the set of the movie Inglorious Basterds:
We were always staying in character. Eli Roth, who plays our sergeant, had instructions to stay on top of us. The shoot was on such a tight schedule, and it was just about staying really concentrated and in character. We were Basterds 24/7. That was our life.
Esquire interview
Doom talks about his role in the movie Inglorious Basterds:
Private First Class Omar Ulmer. I didn’t know I was going to be in the movie until two weeks before we started filming. I’ve known Quentin for a long time, and he called me and was like, I want you to come to Berlin and be a Basterd. I was like, All right. I’ve been preparing for this role my whole life.
Esquire interview
Levine talks about his role as Private First Class Hirschberg in the movie Basterds:
Before we started shooting, it was important to Quentin that all of us come up with credible backstories for our characters. I decided that Hirschberg came from a smaller family in Connecticut, and his family owned the second-largest deli in Hartford.
Esquire interview
Rust discusses his role as Private First Class Andy Kagan in the movie Inglorious Basterds:
He’s a farm boy from Illinois, hungry for some action, but he wasn’t in the original script. By the time we met and hit it off, Quentin had already filled the other roles, so he created the part for me.
Gordon Pinsent interview
Pinsent talks to Crouse about the rumor of Pinsent encouraging Brando to put cotton in his mouth for The Godfather.
More cotton, more cotton. We can still hear you.

Elle cover
Cyrus appears on the cover of the August 2009 issue of Elle magazine. She talks about her clothing line and the difficulties of being a teen star.
It’s hard for all of us. There are so many people that could be using you. So me and Nick [Jonas] and Demi [Lovato], we don’t need anything from each other. We got our own thing going on.
Glamour cover
Swift appears on the cover of the August 2009 issue of Glamour magazine. She talks about maintaining who she is, using her life to inspire songs, and the logistics of having a boyfriend.
It’s always going to be long-distance, even if I date the boy who lives next door to me in Nashville. I’ll be flying to see him and flying him places to see me. It feels like it would involve more scheduling, and I already deal with a lot of scheduling in my life. Of course, if I met somebody who was worth it, I would probably stop thinking that way!
Seventeen cover
Panettiere appears on the cover of the August 2009 issue of Seventeen magazine. She talks about dealing with the media and searching for a guy.
I don’t know how to date. I’m not good at learning that sometimes you don’t like someone in that way – and figuring out how to deal with that. Because I don’t want to hurt his feelings. Right now, I’m just enjoying having fun. It’s when your not looking for anything that something winds up coming along, whether it’s a best friend or a guy.
Teen Vogue cover
Watson appears on the cover of the August 2009 issue of Teen Vogue magazine. She talks about her personal style, her romance in Harry Potter, and attending college.
I’ve been saying that I wanted to go to university since I was eleven, so if they didn’t let me, I’d be pretty upset. I just want to keep it private [my university choice] for as long as I can. I probably sound like a paranoid nut, but I’m doing this because I want to be normal. I really want anonymity. I want to do it properly, like everyone else. As long as I don’t walk in, and see, like, Harry Potter posters everywhere, I’ll be fine.
Maxim cover
Krupa appears on the cover of the August 2009 issue of Maxim magazine. She talks about guys who wear fur and gives advice to guys trying to pick up women.
I think it’s the cheesiest shit on the planet for a man to wear fur. Look at Diddy—he looks like a ’tard! If you think you look hot in a fur jacket, you have issues.
England wins World Cup bid
The International Rugby Board votes 16-10 in favor of rubber-stamping the recommendation from Rugby World Cup Ltd (RWCL) that England should be the host for he 2015 World Cup, beating South Africa and Italy. It will be the second time England will host the competition, the last time being in 1991. Rugby Football Union chairman Thomas:
[The decision is] a relief, and also great joy for England…We have been trusted with making a great competition and providing a great spectacle, and delivering what the IRB needs in terms of host revenue…Australia did an immense job [in 2003], France raised the bar [in 2007] and we have got to raise it again. We have got some very iconic stadia and it will be tremendous for world rugby and immense for participation in England
The RFU says England will lay on the biggest World Cup to date, generating a surplus at least £60m larger than that of the other bids. Between the event’s running dates it says three million people will watch the games live at stadiums across the country. The stadia selected are Twickenham, Wembley and the Emirates Stadium in London, Old Trafford in Manchester, Newcastle’s St James’ Park, Anfield in Liverpool, Elland Road in Leeds, the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, Welford Road in Leicester, Kingsholm in Gloucester and St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton. The only stadium outside England to host matches will be Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, which will stage two quarter-finals and some pool matches.
KTAR in Phoenix interview
Colangelo talks about changes with USA Basketball:
Back in ’04, with the terrible loss in Athens and the lack of real interest on a part of many players to represent their country, we needed to change the culture. And, when you take over a program, usually you start at the bottom and you build up with a solid foundation, I started at the top as managing director of the men’s team… Everyone wants to play now, I think they got it. The pipeline is in place, we have to keep it flowing and that’s the excitement for me.
